  People already have there was an airline with the exact same kind of scandal and they lost the court case pretty soundly.

  It does when the lawsuits start rolling in and they lose customers.

  It’s lying by proxy because the ones who know better are letting it answer, and thus lie, for them.

  Why do official companies or governments or anything with authority keep using ai chatbots? They’ve already got a bad track record it’s inexplicable that anyone would think that theirs is somehow exempt.

  If you used it to wipe up a spill you wouldn’t have to wet it first, just throw it on the spill and it’ll soak up the liquid, then when it starts expanding from that you can use it to wipe more thoroughly.

  Usually you’d have a bag for garbage that you can put it in. It saves space to start with in your pack for supplies like food and water, which will be used up over the course of the hike providing space on the way back that wouldn’t be there at the start.

  You already have to take water anyways even if you take regular wet wipes, and you should already be taking some extra water just in case. You don’t need as much water for these towels as wet wipes use, and in a lot of cases you can use water from the environment (like a river/stream/lake/rain/etc) so long as you’re not ingesting it or putting it on wounds, say if you’re using it to keep cool or clean yourself. So you don’t really have to take more water than you would have anyway, or at least not much more.

  Less weight and saves space. Note how in the post image it mentions they’re good for hiking, weight and space are a big thing when packing for hiking.

  I mean lots of kids wanna be streamers when they grow up so I imagine that’d impress the class.

  Running around all night in that getup? Bro probably reeks something fierce.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tehc⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I have that issue myself but I just use an add on or extension that unloads the tab when I’m not using it, or something like one tab where I can store tabs indefinitely “just in case” and ease my tab hoarding mind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tehc⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I downloaded Firefox on my dad’s computer and made it the main browser, then added an add on that unloads tabs that haven’t been used after a certain amount of time, specifically to avoid this lol.

  Technology definitely had the ability to make human’s lives easier and make it do they don’t have to work as much. Unfortunately that would require people in power to be willing to offer alternative sources of income and they tend to be allergic to that, so all we’ll be likely to get is the unemployment part and not the alternative income options unless a lot of sociopolitical change is enacted.

  This has been my favourite for pdfs so far, really easy to use. Wish there was an app version.
